Choi Ye-na, who will release her new album about eight months after her third mini-album 'Good Morning' in January, said "I've been looking forward to today."

The title song 'SEMONEMO' is an electronic dance song that adds MZ sensibility to the sound of millennium. It is interesting to express each other's sharp appearance in love by comparing it to a square with sharp edges. Choi Ye-na says "The kitschy and funny lyrics are the point. The corners of the square are pointed, and there are times when it is good to fall in love, but the image of being sulky and hurting is expressed by comparing it to the square of the figure", he explained.
I also remembered the first time I heard the song. Choi Ye-na, who said, "'He was my first composer, and he studied me from beginning to end.'" I'm still so grateful for working on each and every one of them. I believed and followed it from the first time I heard it. It was really the best. I wanted to have fun and perform quickly. I asked why time didn't pass when I had to go out into the world," he recalled.
At the same time, he confessed that the new song was his style. Choi Ye-na said "This song has an electronic sound, an emotion that was on my previous favorite playlist. It's that feeling at that time, like T-ara and Orange Caramel from After School as Cyworld BGM, it's like a labor song. I really wanted to do it, too. I got into my own interest. It's so nice to be able to perform while filling my self-interest."

And when the track \'s square came out, I really liked it, but there was no puzzle that fits the lyrics perfectly. So it was put on alert. The lyrics didn't come out until two days before the recording. 'What should I do?' I played the track to my senior and did SOS because I couldn't think of the lyrics. He gladly told me the identity and keyword of the song 'SEMONEMO'. You even wrote witty lyrics, so I'm so touched. The lyrics "square" came out right away` Zico told an anecdote about writing the lyrics.
To the opinion that the addictive hook is 'No Suneung song' I feel sorry for the examinee first. Personally, it is the first song that my mother recognized. It's so nice to be recognized by my mom."
As for the music video "I watched the process from beginning to end. At first, I was disappointed when I only saw the cut version without CG, but when I saw the completed version, it was okay because it was clean. "He expressed satisfaction.
The new song was choreographed by Choi Young-joon, the representative choreographer of K-pop, and TEAM SAME, which includes Reddy, who played in Mnet "Street Women Fighter 2", and created synergy with Choi Ye-na." Earlier, he released a spoiler for his signature choreography, which expresses a square with his fingers, and he has been heating up the challenge even before his comeback.
The performance was also measured. Choi Ye-na is "The point choreography is 'square dance' as the title is. There is also a movement similar to the dance "Gangbuk Cooler" and put all the squares in the world. The choreography came out so well that I want to say thank you to the choreographer teachers. "
Then "I tried to make sure the lyrics were drawn as much as possible. It's so nice that it's contained as it is. Expressing the love story, he confessed, "From the pouty appearances when faced with an angled situation to the appearance of unraveling while still hugging you pretty at the end, I think it's so perfect."

I met IZ*ONE members on my birthday the day before and sang a new song for them. Choi Ye-na "I got together yesterday when I had time. At Eunbi's house, Chaewon, Minju, and Yujin met like this. They wished me a happy birthday and sang for me. He sang along right after listening to the song. Eunbi kept singing along until she went home. I thought it was a good phenomenon. It felt like I was getting a birthday present. They liked the song and enjoyed the music video. "IZ*ONE's loyalty is still strong.
Finally, Choi Ye-na worked happily on the album, as it was a self-interesting album. 'Yena genre' or the identity I want to keep is to perform happily from the bottom of my heart. I should be happy and really good, and I think the viewers can feel it. The mindset is to be truly happy and enjoy it. My goal and dream is to continue to like and be happy on stage as I am now."
At 6 p.m. on the 30th, Choi Ye-na will release her third single 'SEMONEMO' on various music sites.
